The Island isn't one of my top tracks on this album. Yankee Bayonet is amazing, though as well as both "Crane Wife" tracks. PJ, what technical stuff should I be appreciating that...

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

For me, it's Crane Wife > Her Majesty > Castaways > Picaresque, and I love Picaresque.

I also like their 5-song EP that has songs like "Angel Won't You Call Me."

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

WOW -- now there's at least two B-sides floating around out there from The Crane Wife.

"After the Bombs" is a gorgeous, quiet piano ballad. The other one I have is "The Culling of the Fold," a...

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

Agreed -- too much of the rock criticism/writing about The Decemberists, especially this album, focuses on the lyrics and Meloy's storytelling. Sure, that defines the band, and it's interesting. But...

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

I'm really glad the critics (http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/decemberists/cranewife) are loving this. When I was in Toronto last month I was telling Noel Murray (the Onion music guy) how...

That's really too bad. I haven't gotten my copy of the new CD in the mail yet, but a lot of their charm in their second (and best IMO) CD is that the songs were quick and clever.

ROFL @ thinking Colin Meloy is singing with an Irish accent... hahaha...

Anyway, the lyrics on this new album are incredible. It's a storybook tale set in the 19th century, and it's got murder...

Re: OMG... The Decemberists\' new album.... HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIP IT!!!!

Crzylgs -- what I'm saying is that this is a MAJOR leap on the band's part. It's like going from Pablo Honey to OK Computer, totally skipping The Bends.

If you liked the band before this, you'll...
